Hylomar always remains gooie and runnie.  Its not like a silicone that cures 
like rubber.   It is suppose to seal all liquids that
our cars use.   I am referring to the older type of Hylamar not one of the 
newer versions that Moss is selling.   They sell 2 now and one of them 
sounds like the original.
